Visit the first nation people of the Emberá-Chamà tribe just 10 minute away from the town center, or go to their old cemetery in Morro Amarillo.
Over a century ago people from the central and eastern area of Antioquia started moving south and conquering this unsettled land, this migration is called the 'Colonización Antioqueña'. The new towns grew with a characteristic architecture and JardÃn is a fine example of such. Balconies and doors are in wood painted in colorful reds, blues and yellows, in sharp contrast with the white walls of the homes.
The main church dominates the plaza, the town and the whole scenery. Its neogothic style couples perfectly with the materials used to build it: hard rocks from a nearby river.
The Hospital is also worth seing. Only one story high and built in blocks of dark stone from rivers closeby. The interior has many patios with flowers. Walk 6 blocks down from the main plaza of town.
Museum Casa de la Cultura along the main plaza. Phone +57 4 845 5745.
